Step 1 : Introduction to the question "During which month does France celebrate Bastille Day?"
...On July 14, 1789, France was gripped in the throes of a revolution that began just two days before. The Bastille Fortress in Paris was overrun by a mob. This storming of the Bastille is commemorated by Bastille Day. At the time, the Bastille housed political prisoners but was also holding stockpiles of weapons. The French people overrunning the Bastille took gunpowder and arms. They also relieved the prison's governor of his head. The fall of the Bastille signaled to the French monarchy that France was moving toward establishment of a republic. Source: USAtoday.com
